[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The funerals of those poor children are going to be heartbreaking.

Our country is such a pathetic embarrassment.  [/quote]

I don't know - maybe it is a coping mechanism but I see hope for our country in the way that people from all over the political spectrum are in agreement this can never happen again.   [b]The usual suspects on both sides will try to divide us for their own benefit and distract us from the real issues [/b] - but I think there is a real momentum for change that the politicians are going to have to respond to.  Bringing back the assault weapon ban would pass by a landslide right now if put to the vote.  We have midterms coming.[/quote]

Nope. Only one side does this. [/quote] 
I’m so sick and tired of the “gotcha” mentality.  Why don’t we focus on [b]common ground[/b][/quote]

Americans have common ground. But Republicans in office repeatedly refuse to enact legislation that respects the will of the clear majority of Americans. Republican officials. So, if you vote Republican officials into office, and you sincerely want sensible gun laws in place, then you have to stop putting Republicans in office. [/quote]

No Senator represents all Americans. And the 11 smallest states combined have the same number of people as Los Angeles County. So 22 Senators elected mainly by gun nuts, and LA County, which doesn't even get 2 Senators itself.

The only pro gun control states in those 11 are RI, DE, and HI. [/quote]

Even though the RI congressional delegation would vote for gun reform, at the state level in an overwhelmingly blue state with a dem governor we are facing gridlock. The RI dem party is blaming republicans while dem leadership (A rating from the NRA) won't let gun reform bills have a floor vote.[/quote]
